"It's a miracle that we won this race," Trickle said. "We didn't practice Friday, and we have been close a lot this year. It really feels good to get this win."

At the start of the evening, it appeared Trickle would run up front most of the night. He qualified third and quickly moved to second on the race's first lap. But Trickle overdrove Turn 3 a few laps later and was passed by several cars as he dropped back to seventh. But a few drivers had mechanical issues and Trickle patiently picked off the remaining cars to work his way back through the field. On lap 37, Trickle drove under Dennis Rock Jr. for the lead and Gragson followed him through the hole. Two laps later, Stan Mullis stalled on the track and brought out the caution that set up the duel with Gragson.

"Once we got shuffled back, we had to fight, fight, fight to get back to the front," Trickle said. "I knew if we could get out front and clear the other cars that we could drive away and win this, and that's exactly what we did."

While Trickle was celebrating in Victory Lane, points leader Scott Gafforini needed a tow back to the pits. The five-time track champion was forced out of the race with a blown engine just nine laps into the event. Rock's second-place finish has tightened the points race with Gafforini heading into the season fnale on Sept. 26.
